What health inspectors found (on-site government inspections — the most independent evidence available)
Health inspection rating: ★☆☆☆☆1/5 · CMS overall rating: 1/5
The health inspection star above is graded on a curve within each state — a set share of each state's facilities gets each star level — so a facility can have few citations and still rate 2–3 stars if others in its state did even better. The overall rating combines that inspection score with staffing and self-reported quality measures.
Most serious findings (actual harm or immediate jeopardy)
▲ Immediate jeopardy, facility-wide · Oct 21, 2024 · F-0837 · triggered by a complaint
The facility did not have a proper governing body legally responsible for its policies and operations, or that body failed to appoint a properly licensed administrator to manage the facility.
Why it matters: Weak leadership and accountability at the top often show up as problems in residents' daily care.
Severity (L): A life-threatening or extremely dangerous situation existed throughout the facility. The single most serious citation CMS can issue.
Corrected: Nov 26, 2024 (Deficient, Provider has date of correction)
▲ Actual harm, one-off · Mar 23, 2026 · F-0689
The facility did not keep the environment free of accident hazards, or did not provide enough supervision to prevent accidents like falls.
Why it matters: This is one of the most common citations and directly relates to falls and injuries, which can be devastating for older adults.
Severity (G): One or a few residents were actually harmed — physically or emotionally — though not put in immediate danger of serious injury or death.
Corrected: May 5, 2026 (Deficient, Provider has date of correction)
▲ Actual harm, one-off · Dec 10, 2025 · F-0686 · triggered by a complaint
The facility did not provide proper care for pressure ulcers (bedsores) or did not do enough to prevent new ones from forming. Bedsores develop when residents stay in one position too long without help moving.
Why it matters: Bedsores are painful, can become deeply infected, and in serious cases can be life-threatening.
Severity (G): One or a few residents were actually harmed — physically or emotionally — though not put in immediate danger of serious injury or death.
Corrected: Dec 29, 2025 (Deficient, Provider has date of correction)
▲ Actual harm, one-off · Sep 9, 2024 · F-0689 · triggered by a complaint

Why it matters: This is one of the most common citations and directly relates to falls and injuries, which can be devastating for older adults.
Severity (G): One or a few residents were actually harmed — physically or emotionally — though not put in immediate danger of serious injury or death.

Nurse staffing (from payroll records, adjusted for how much care residents need)
| Measure | This facility | Washington avg | U.S. avg | Where it stands |

| Registered Nurse hours | 0.68 | 0.91 | 0.69 | bottom 24% in Washington; top 38% in the U.S. |

| Weekend RN hours (not acuity-adjusted) | 0.45 | 0.67 | 0.48 | bottom 16% in Washington; top 40% in the U.S. |
| Total nursing staff turnover (%) | 0.0 | 45.1 | 45.8 | — |
| RN turnover (%) | 0.0 | 45.4 | 42.9 | — |
Hours are per resident per day, case-mix adjusted by CMS so facilities caring for sicker residents can be compared fairly (same basis as the CMS staffing star). "Top X%" means better than most facilities: more staffing hours, or lower turnover. Raw (unadjusted) reported hours: total 3.88, RN 0.72, weekend 3.34. Staffing rating: 2/5.
Self-reported quality measures
